Rock and roll branched out... punk rock, metal, glam rock...
Hip hop needs to do the same. Distinguish that s***
I listen to more modern rappers than you do. Because we don’t want auto tune and we want dudes to actually rap, we stuck in the 90s?

Is it all that different than master p telling us he was independent in 98? Or jay z telling us about rocawear sales?

He talking about some pretty basic investing, owning land, ownership, and healthy living. Like real surface level stuff, that all young men should be doing for real.
It’s literal free game. Not to be taken as some gospel, but the seeds are there.

He’s putting youngins on to crypto one of the easiest ways to make $ and dudes are mad at him. I don’t even listen to moneyman but I’m not knocking his message.
but the little homies know what blockchain is now because of him.

Whos popping to you? Cuz we all know damn well…YOU of all people have no say so, or kno what’s going on for real
Like
addict4sneakers
said, what’s popping is relative. I know you’re a Homer, so you know damn well that Bronx Drill is “poppin” with a subset. That’s a lane. There are many others. On the west coast…baby stone gorillas got a movement. Along with a host of other cats. Then through the Midwest, south and beyond.All of this isn’t “auto tune music”.
And also the fact that 30-50 year old rappers STILL can drop, tour, sell and have a fan base is a real thing. But y’all refuse to acknowledge it. Those the guys that are still winning.

Why are you so angry? How do you know what I listen to?

When people complain about the "sound" of hiphop they are mainly talking about mainstream rap & what is promoted the most, what is played on radio, in the clubs etc etc.
in that aspect their isn't much variety at all & it really is one big game of follow the leader.

I mess with Money Man, one of the few dudes in that lane that’s legit. And he barely uses any autotune anyway, which helps

Even in the mainstream, ****** sound different. This isn't the "mumble rap" era where everybody tried to sound like Migos & Future.

We just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, Outside of the Superstar class (Drake, Kendrick, Cole) the majority of mainstream hiphop is still limited to a few styles with minimal differences & all using the same production

I actually got put on to Money Man from his financial advice videos on YouTube before i ever heard a song

Riding production waves isn’t new but it does seem like a lot more mini-meing going on. But even then thats not new

If anything, regional music is what's holding rap down. Cali still sounds like Cali. NY has their thing. Memphis. Detroit. Florida and so forth. Rap is in a great space.

The biggest “mainstream acts” (as far as men go) are Drake, Kendrick, Cole, Travis, Kanye, Lil Baby, Future,Thug. And their subsidiaries and ppl they influenced by. Then their is YB, Kodak, Durk.
They don’t all do the same things. But at times, will work together and have similar Flows or production (like every era of hip hop).
Then you have regional sub-geners, niche music and burgeoning artist with an array of influences.
It’s always funny to me…because the main ******s complaining don’t go to the clubs. Don’t listen to the radio. Don’t listen to the playlist. And generally are late to understand what is what.
But be the main ones complaining. We live in an era where Nas at 50, drops regularly and Collabs with young producers and artist…and y’all still complain.
Something tells me that the criticism is rooted in something else entirety. And it always has been. This ain’t no different from forever. It’s tired at this point. Let it go, and find your niche.
If the convo is on destructive rapping etc…let’s have that one.
